Overview

MA Crossover Strategy with SL/Targets generates long signals on fast MA crossover above the slow MA and short signals on the reverse crossover. The strategy enters positions and automatically places stop loss and target limits calculated as percentages of the close price. It sends JSON formatted alerts for entries and exits to support webhook integration with external trading platforms. The main settings control MA lengths, stop loss and target percentages, and the alert symbol. It draws directly on the main price chart and works on any timeframe.

Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints.
